I'll take the cigarette without the blind fold.
I was reading the FAQ that came with my download v1.5.4b, I found the lastest
FAQ. The only thing I want to say to those people that did that tranparent
illusion effect, "YOU BASSSTERDS" :) Oh, well, AfterStep is still a neat
manager, (that is stable by the way).
Anyone know the status of http://slashdot.org, I've been want to get ahold of
those applets to put on wharf but the site sems to be down?
